Review of Mr. Holmes (2015) by Timothy A — 21 Aug 2015
My husband, my 11 yr old son & I went to the Mr. Holmes movie tonight. We all liked it! My husband really enjoyed the PBS shows with Benedict Cumberbatch and to a lesser extent the recent movies with Robert Downey, Jr.
Our 11yr old son has only read a few of the stories with me. I've been a Sherlock Holmes fan since I can remember. I have watched a lot of different types of shows on PBS. This is a very different type of Sherlock Holmes story, but if you like this type of thing you will enjoy.
It's not violent but there are a few somewhat scary scenes, therefore, I wouldn't recommend it to any children younger than 11. I'm not sure if most children would like it. There is a boy in the movie who is really good so I think that helped to make it interesting for our son.
As I write this, my husband & our son are watching the 1st Benedict Cumberbatch PBS show and they didn't even tell me! I guess we have a new Sherlock Holmes fan in the house!
